Manchester brewery Cloudwater is named among the top 10 in the world

Manchester brewery Cloudwater Brew Co has been named the fifth best in the world at the RateBeer awards.

The only UK entry to ever make the list, the brewers took home a total of eleven awards at the ceremony, including best beer in Manchester (with their DIPA v9), top 100 beers in the world (DIPA v3), and a number of mentions in the best beers by style.

Marble Brewery's flagship pub the Marble Arch Inn on Rochdale Road also scooped a prize after being named one of the best brewpubs in England. Port Street Beer House was named one of the best beer bars in England, and Beermoth on Tib Street was named best bottle shop in Manchester.

The RateBeer Best is one of the largest beer competitions in the world, taking into account more than 470,000 beers from over 26,000 brewers worldwide.

Based in the city centre, the Cloudwater team came onto the Manchester beer scene with a bang in 2014. With strong branding, an experienced team, and a clear vision, founder Paul Jones proved to be a formidable player in the city's brewing scene.

As well as their brewery, Cloudwater is co-operator of The Pilcrow - a pub built almost entirely by volunteers in Sadler’s Yard, which they run together with the team behind Common.
